Thanks for posting that. First, $4999 is an UNREAL price for this....unreal. Should street for around $ 4000 perhaps????

Even better news for those who still can't bring that home will be the more affordable offerings from Panasonic, Optoma, InFocus, & Mitsubishi....add Sanyo & Benq to that mix too.

With Sony's 1080p Pearl pricing strategy...it actually helps lower the cost of other units imo.

Wow. Wow.

Might just be that 1080p front projection is more of a reality than a dream.
